Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin.
3. Gently pull apart the shell to reveal the lobster meat while keeping the shell attached at the base.
4. Lift the lobster meat through the slit in the shell and place it on top of the shell for an appealing presentation.
5. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
6. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat and shell, ensuring every bit is coated.
7. Place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket with the meat side facing up.
8. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
9. Remove the lobster tails from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the lobster tails with fresh lemon wedges on the side and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
11. Enjoy your luxurious air fryer lobster tails with family and friends!
